Ben, an average college student, awakes one morning to find he’s been magically pulled into another world by Marissa, an anthropomorphic snow leopard. Even as he’s struggling to contemplate the situation, he’s tasked with accompanying her on a strange and intriguing journey. Ben struggles to figure out and adapt to this strange world, where magic exists and is quite powerful.
He also puzzles through navigating the minefields of an alien culture and mindset, as he tries to figure out this strange and alluring cat woman who is his companion and guide. What results is a quest filled with surprises, action, danger and even romance, but will they both make it back intact?
This is the first novel written by Will A. Sanborn. The writing style is more embryonic than in his later works, but this book shows where he started from and how his storytelling began.

Mouseland, the inspiration for Mice Election July 11th, 2009
The inspiration for the story Mice Election came from remembering a bit of political satire told on a web forum I’d seen a couple of years before. I realized after writing the story that the post was actually quoting a famous political parable from a Canadian politician in the 1940s.
I not only managed to find the text of the Mouseland, but also an animation piece set to a recording of the speech.
